Work Info
I have owned and operated my own computer consulting business for the last 10 years. Now it's called Jonathan Wentz Computer Consulting. I worked for the Department of Microbiology (who's website I had nothing to do with) and the Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology (who's new website I did) as IT Administrator while at State. Now that I've graduated, I've moved back to Charlotte and I'm consulting again and working full time at Sunbelt Rentals.

Future
Unlike most Computer Science majors I know, I don't want to be a programmer or a web developer (though I get roped into doing both more than I like). I do want to be a network administrator and eventually have my own network consulting business.

Background
I come from an upper-middle class family. Both Jennifer, my sister, and I are adopted (from different families). My parents got divorced when I was 5 (which I guess is pretty common). Both got remarried eventually, but I grew up living with my mom. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor when I was in 7th grade and passed away when I was in 11th grade. I went to Myers Park High School. (Mustangs Forever!) It was always expected that I would attend college. State was the only place I applied: I got accepted, and didn't apply anywhere else. It was a good decision, I'd say. I've got a wonderful girlfriend, Kate, who's put up with me for almost 4 years! And a very cute black lab named Lise (pronounced 'lease'). Life is pretty good.

Strengths
I'm good at diagnosing and solving problems, thinking logically, and troubleshooting. I am also good a using semi-colons; it's a skill not many have!

Weaknesses
I tend to talk a lot and give people too much information (see above). I am also a perfectionist; you should see my kitchen! (Todd, what did I tell you about loading the dishwasher? NO!)
